At least one person was killed and five injured when drones struck St Petersburg overnight, setting fire to the city's oil terminal and the Ruchyi oil depot, Governor Alexander Beglov said. A VKontakte data centre and an Ozon warehouse were also hit, and Pulkovo Airport briefly closed. Russia's defence ministry says it downed more than 1,000 Ukrainian drones. Kyiv has not commented on the strikes.
